Chapter 976 Buy a Team to Play
Paul Allen soon regretted that he did not attend the board meeting, because Feng Yu happened to catch Paul Allen, who was clearly in the company, but did not come to the board meeting to discuss matters.
The other directors learned about Feng Yu's becoming the second richest man in the world right away. It was no secret at Microsoft that Feng Yu and Allen were not on good terms. The new programmers would know about it on the same day.
Last year, Feng Yu's director reward equity was severely reduced, which was Alan's proposal. This proposal cost Feng Yu a lot of money. Feng Yu is attacking Alan now, of course they can understand.
In fact, there are people on the board of directors who have opinions on Allen, such as Steve Ballmer.
Ballmer also spoke for Feng Yu last year, but his words were mild, not to mention Gates chose to support Allen last year, what else could he say?
"Some people don't do anything themselves, but they always think that others do less. The company stipulates that every director has the right to request a board meeting, as long as the chairman agrees, right? Gates agreed today, why did someone Didn't come? If he was out of town, I would understand whether he was for the company's business or his own business, but he seems to be in our headquarters, right?" Feng Yu said, knocking on the table with his hands.
"Last year he proposed that because I often took leave on the board of directors, I deducted a lot of stock awards that I deserved. How much is this stock worth? I don't need to say more? He can propose to deduct my awards. Today, He deliberately didn't come to the board meeting, so can I propose to deduct his allotment shares this year? He also disrespects the board of directors and everyone, right?"
Bill Gates saw that Feng Yu was going too far, and if he didn't interrupt, I'm afraid Feng Yu would really initiate this proposal, and it would not end well.
"Feng, let's talk about your topic today."
Feng Yu glanced at Gates, turned his head and said: "Okay, let's talk about more important things. I think we, Microsoft, should also make computers. We have cooperation with so many hardware manufacturers, why don't we launch our own brand Where's your computer?"
Feng Yu knew that Bill Gates was against the production of computers. Now Microsoft cooperates with various hardware vendors, and then they are so strong that they let them develop hardware suitable for their systems, and charge them, even if they don’t use their Microsoft software, they have to pay, otherwise they will never use it!
And once Microsoft intervenes in the computer field, it will really make all hardware manufacturers unite and fight against each other. At that time, Microsoft will definitely be boycotted by them.
Now Microsoft is constantly being sued, accusing Microsoft of monopoly and so on. Bill Gates will never agree to produce computers.
Feng Yu actually made this proposal on purpose,
Want to see what other people think. If this proposal can be passed, then Microsoft will be out of luck, just so that Lianxiang Yinshan can catch up and surpass Microsoft earlier. If it cannot be passed, he also wants to see who agrees and who opposes.
Agree, they must be brain-dead. If they want to poach people in the future, they must not want such people!
One director objected, but gave no reason. The rest of the directors were silent, and neither was Gates.
"Hmph, is this proposal to make Microsoft the enemy of all hardware manufacturers?" Allen's voice suddenly came out.
Feng Yu turned his head and found that Allen was walking in with a look of disdain, and Gates just took his hand from under the table and put the phone on the table.
It seems that Gates sent a text message to Allen just now, and Allen came here.
"Aren't we the enemy of all hardware vendors now?" Feng Yu asked rhetorically.
"Of course not. There are still some hardware manufacturers who are very happy to cooperate with us. And once we get involved in computers, not only hardware manufacturers, but also those computer manufacturers and sellers will stand on the opposite side of us. Can't you think of this? "Alan said disdainfully.
"But we are Microsoft." Feng Yu said deliberately.
Allen is at a loss for words, he can't say, Microsoft is not powerful, right? But to say that Microsoft can defeat one hundred is absolutely bragging.
"In short, it is not possible. The specific reason is that you want to go."
"Okay, since there are people who object, let's forget about this proposal." Gates said at the right time.
Feng Yu shrugged, looking indifferent. Anyway, even if it does not produce computers, Microsoft will still be subject to antitrust investigations next year, and its stock price will also suffer.
The other directors dispersed, and Allen said deliberately: "Some people either don't come to the board meeting, or they make some ridiculous proposals. They really should leave the board!"
Feng Yu turned around and looked at Alan with a smile: "Is your professional basketball team finished this year? What did I say? It's either the Bulls or the Rockets. It won't be your turn. It seems I was right."
Do you want to add trouble to others, who wouldn't.
"What basketball do you know? My team will definitely win the championship next year!" Allen said loudly.
"I don't know basketball? How about we have a one-on-one bullfight? Five balls will determine the outcome. I'll let you have three first, and four are fine."
Allen's hair is gray, where can he play basketball with Feng Yu, it is definitely because he is uncomfortable.
"I'm not an athlete. If you have the ability, you can play games with my athletes. If you have ten balls, I'll let you nine!" Allen retorted, "Do you know what a professional game is? You can't return my team. You Do you have a team? If you have a team, you will play even worse!"
"Oh? Not necessarily? If you say that, then I'll buy a team to play with you. Let's see whose team wins the championship first!" Feng Yu raised his eyebrows rashly made a decision.
"What did you say? You want to buy a team? An NBA team? Which one do you want to buy?" Allen was shocked. If Feng Hua bought the Bulls at a high price, he might really win.
"If you buy one that is too high, you will say that I am bullying you, so I will buy the Los Angeles Clippers, which are at the bottom of the league!"
Allen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. If it was the Los Angeles Lakers, he would still be a little worried, after all, there is that fat man O'Neal. But to say that the Los Angeles Clippers, that kind of big team, also want to win the championship, is simply an international joke!
"Los Angeles Clippers? I'm not even hitting you. If you don't spend your money desperately, it's not bad for your team to have a 30% winning percentage. I will count you as a success if you can enter the playoffs. In Los Angeles In a big city, a lousy team that can’t sell a ticket for ten dollars, I advise you to buy another team, so as not to say that I bully you!"
In fact, Allen is already happy in his heart, and this time he can hit Feng Yu well.
"No, it's the Clippers, is it the playoffs? It's very simple, but my goal is still the championship!"
"Then let's wait and see. Do you want to change the name of the team after you bought it, such as the Los Angeles Tails?"
"Of course, if the Blazers change their name to the Blazers Prison Team, all your problematic players should go to prison!" Feng Yu retorted.
"Hmph, let's wait and see!"
